1751 December 25 (Wednesday). Stormy and Cold. Mr. Beeton here. He brought home various pieces of Work — a shovel, in particular the wood of which Ebenezer had made. I went over to the other House (not having been there for a great While). Ebenezer (I conceive) going to Boston with my Young Horse, to Mr. Thomas Goldthwait — but to my disappointment he is not going. Sir Forbush from the North Side, where he went not without Expectation that there was a Lecture appointed. The proposal was Lieutenant Holloways — but Mr. Martyn forgot it.
